Coming into Monday night’s game at the MAC. Scott Sophomore Tyler Cook, had pitched a sum total of 3 2/3 innings this season.  However, a year ago as a freshman, he was the Eagles ace, hurling 53.2 innings with a 3-2 Win-Loss record, an ERA of 1.04, and had struck out 82 opponents in 10 starts.  He had also established himself at the plate in 2025, going 4 for 9 with 2 Home Runs.

In tonight’s games at the MAC, designated a Red’s Futures Showcase game, and also a 37th District Seeding match, Cook was brilliant.  He went 6 complete innings, got the win while allowing 1 run, 1 hit to Isaac Amin, struck out 16 Mustangs while issuing 3 bases on balls.  At the plate Tyler was 2 for 3 with a home run, 1 run scored, and an RBI.  Pretty fair day at the yard.  Blake Groeneck also took a liking to the MAC, going 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles, 1 run scored, and a pair of RBIs.  The game was closed out by Junior Jay Race who walked 1, struck out 2 (for a total of 18 Mustangs Striking Out).  He allowed no runs, no hits, as the Eagles improve to 12-9.  They have not faced Calvary Christian nor Campbell County, the remaining district opponents.

Our Mustangs were limited to a single hit by Isaac Amin.  Luke Neltler was our starter and took the loss.  Luke went 4 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs on 8 hits, striking out 4 and walking 2.  Kasey Moeller finished it out with 2 2/3 innings of admirable work allowing 1 run and 1 hit.  The Mustangs fall to 11-11, and have dropped our last six decisions.  We will attempt to right the ship on Wednesday, travelling to Walton-Verona for a 5pm game.
